    We started with C++ and we continued with it for two semesters but at the end of the second we started learning Java and now we're going on with Java

    I dunno.

    My formal education included, in order...

    Elementary:
    • AppleScript (a week.)

    High school:
    • VB (1 year)
    • C/C++ mashup (2 years, not offered another year due to insuffucient student interest)

    College:
    • Java (1 year)
    • VB.NET (idk how long)

    My last professor was the (tenured) head of the computer science department, who taught web development using vb.net. (Yep.) She understood English so poorly, and spoke in such broken grammar that I was almost completely unable to communicate with her. Sadly, that's no exaggeration; it was incredibly difficult and frustrating for everyone in the class, her included.

    And on top of that? She wasn't able to read code. She gave zero examples and answered zero questions the entire year, instead referring everyone to the (awful) textbook. Often, she would wait for other students to answer the questions first and then thank them. Again, that's no exaggeration: she literally answered zero questions, yet there was lots of "read textbook $name" and "thank you $name". Furthermore, she gave every assignment a 100% whether or not it worked, except for midterms, which she graded entirely on looks.

    I dropped out.

    Basically first steps are in C but these days they have changed it to Python,
    Then C++
    And there goes JAVA
    In between a little of Perl, C#, and some Microprocessor shit.
